They mentioned they found a piece of metal, so mine broke. Is this piece compatible with any of the V2 bikes? Wonder if Ducati used a lower quality part thinking it would handle the lower torque engine.

They called yesterday after they opened the cover. It sounds like the same issue as yours. I wonder the odds of it breaking again.

Stopped in today and they said they need to take the cover off and send Ducati photos. After three weeks. WTF

My plug was also left in. Shoddy prep work.

What exactly was your issue? My dealer has had the bike three weeks so far.

The 698 is brilliant for the mission it was designed for. If that's not your mission, then move on.

Also ask which bikes have compatible wheels. Need spares.

Ask them what bikes have compatible front and rear sprockets. I think the 899 and 959 Panigale have compatible rear sprockets.

I don't think I've seen one available. Is this a Ducati part?

This bike is so much fun. I'm going through withdrawal. My brother always says not to buy first year, but..... I had to. Can't wait to see what they replace the Panigale V2 with.

I talked to the dealer Friday. They said they were in contact with Ducati NA. Said it might be the shift fork or drum. They've had it 2 weeks and said they should know something soon. Sounds like they have to split the cases regardless. I was curious if more bikes would have this issue...

My passenger pegs were in a box with the manual. Came with the bike.

Sounds like they would be open to lawsuit. We will see. I was enjoying being back with Ducati, but a transmission failure with less than 400 and not covered under warranty will put me back on the KTM RC8.

I dropped the bike at the dealer last Friday. They Said it may be a couple weeks before they get to it.

It's a standard fatbar.

A lot more tire options in 180.

I installed my custom Shift Tech slip on titanium cans. They look great. Took the bike to the track. It sounds better. Still waiting for the titanium header pipe. This is my bike. https://shift-tech-carbon.com/products/st3342-t-shift-tech-titanium-titanium-slipon-exhaust-kit-hypermotard-698-mono

Was out mid session at the track and it won't down shift out of 4th into 3rd or lower. Only shifts through 4, 5, 6. Can't drop it at the dealer for a couple weeks. Any ideas?

The 698 is about 50 pounds heavier, but handles like a lighter bike. The 698 engine is super smooth for a single. Similar to the 550 twin, but the 698 definitely pulls harder. I enjoyed my SXV's, but really dig the 698 on a short road course.

I went back and checked and I ran a 180 rear on my Aprilia SXV's, both the 450 and the 550. Seems like a 180 would make sense on the 698. Just need to fins a 5.5" rear wheel that fits and try it.
